So this is coming before RE9? Interesting.

 

[MagiusNecros]

I don’t have any experience with Onimusha series, I definitely want to play before this games comes…..I have lots time since coming 2026…..fuck me….I wish it was in 2025.

You can get Onimusha Warlords the first one on Steam. The others you'll need to pick up the consoles to play. Early Onimusha I'd describe as Resident Evil with Swords it later evolved into a fun action horror hack and slash. Onimusha Dawn of Dreams was great.

I could be wrong but didn’t release remaster version on PS4 not too long a go?

Warlords the first one. The other 3 are all on PS2.

You should definitely play them. Onimusha was one of the biggest action series of Capcom back in the days during the PS2 era, alongside Dino Crisis, Devil May Cry and Resident Evil.

 

[Danjin44]

Warlords the first one. The other 3 are all on PS2.

They have time, they should release rest of the games on modern system which will help build up hype towards the new one.

I’m definitely gonna give the series a try….I like this darker atmosphere edo period samurai games over trying be too colourful like Ghost of Tsushima, which they were trying too hard romanticize it.

 

[SkylineRKR]

How do you even say this?

Onimusha 2 was not good? What? Same with 3? I'm so confused with this statement.

1 is probably the worst of the 3. Its the first and shortest game, I loved it, but I liked the sequels more.

Never played Dawn of Dreams.

 

[The Shepard]

This was easily my biggest surprise of the show, i love onimusha. After not releasing the onimusha 2 and 3 remaster I thought capcom was done with the franchise. Was really happy till 2026 popped up of course. Now release the rest of the og trilogy whilst we wait, there's no reason not to, the franchise is back and that video looked great.

They have time till 2026, they should release rest of the games to build hype…..because 2026 date is really discouraging.

 

[KàIRóS]

I'm not really understanding why some of you are already hating if it does turn out to be a Soulslike, the gameplay in the fourth and final game already felt like a predecessor to Soulslikes to me, and even in the OG trilogy minus the Resident Evil camera and tank controls, the combat was actually very soulslike, In fact wasn't Onimusha the very first game to heavily emphasize parrying and riposting?

 

[Blood Borne]

Holy shit

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

Onimusha is amazing!
My favorite is 2(Town music!) and 4, had an amazing time on the PS2.

Hopefully there will be a remaster of 2,3 and 4 to catch up before this one releases.

 

[Heart_Attack]

2026. Can't fucking wait.

 

[Physiognomonics]

Japan still saving the videogame industry.

 

[Danjin44]

Japan still saving the videogame industry.

They always did, if it wasn’t for Japanese games I would have quit gaming long time a go.

 

[Tokio Blues]

ONIMUSHA!!!!

 

[SmokedMeat]

Fuuuuuuuuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuckity fuck fuck fuck!! Finally!!

 

[GymWolf]

Hopefully it's gonna be more like the first 2 games, not really a fan of the other 2.

 

[killatopak]

Hyped!

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Hopefully it's gonna be more like the first 2 games

The new game also better be bigger and much more expanded in more ways than one. Hopefully 12-15 hrs of playtime at least if not more. The first game was way too short and barely even explored anything it had to offer tbh, love it to death, but still.

 

[Neolombax]

Did not expect it at all, awesome announcement. Have really fond memories of Onimusha 3.

Yeah, 15-20 hours of onimusha would be great, if it has the same quality of the old ones.

 

[Calverz]

Pretty sure the voice acting at the end is Benedict Wong:

 

[geary]

Is this like "grandfather" of Nioh?

 

[AyraSutoraifu]

Is this like "grandfather" of Nioh?

No

 

[Lambogenie]

Sick.
Hope my aged skills and lack of patience let me compete the demon realm floors.

Wonder who the famous face will be, if anything. A younget Hiroyuki Sanada would sick. Or keep him old even. Change protagonists in future.

 

[raul3d]

Dawn of dreams is amazing, I mean, shit, just in the first 5 minutes /intro, you're fighting a giant demonic mecha while some of the most Japanesey, heroic music is playing in the background ffs.

For some reason people didn't like it as much as the other games, for.me personally, it was one of the best Onimushas - if not the best with 3 being the most cringy one (Jean Reno + japanese zombies in Paris lol).

Also don't forget the hidden local coop mode. It is a blast if you have a friend over. Dawn of Dreams, with Resident Evil 5, is one of my all time favorite coop games.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

I Really hope this game plays like an extremely polished version of Nioh. As much as I love Team Ninja, their games have not made the technical leap this generation

 

[HYDE]

I've been asking for this for a decade now

I can't believe it's finally happening

Great things come to those who wait!

 

[Imtjnotu]

We get onimusha before Dino crisis

Suck my balls Capcom

 

[Astral Dog]

Please find a way to put 2 and 3 on modern consoles.

I played the remaster recently for the first time and while its clunky and a little dated it really felt like Resident Evil set on Japan lol, pretty interesting i was hoping they remaster the other games as well

 

[HYDE]

So this is coming before RE9? Interesting.

I don’t think it will, it was just revealed first.
Resident Evil 9 is probably being saved for Sony’s next event with a closer release date.

 

[StereoVsn]

Imagine Dino Crisis as a Soulsborne game!

The twist is you play as the Dino!

 

[IDKFA]

Onimusha is amazing!

Same, but 3 was trash. The modern day Paris sections felt very out of place.

We get onimusha before Dino crisis

Suck my balls Capcom

I feel your pain.

Capcom could have at least given us a remaster of the first two games. Dino Crisis is being oppressed by Capcom.

 

[kiphalfton]

I really hope this isn’t going to be Soulslike and it’s more like the older Onimusha game.

Exactly.

Everybody trying to cash in on that Souls gravy train.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

1 is probably the worst of the 3. Its the first and shortest game, I loved it, but I liked the sequels more.

Never played Dawn of Dreams.

The first one is the best. The second one introduced mechanics that are essentially rendered useless halfway through the game and the third one has you watch a cutscene every 5 minutes.

 

[SALMORE]

Freaking finally ... but please don't be a soul game

 

[HYDE]

Man the emotions, was thinking Sekiro! then Ninja Gaiden! then bam! Onimusha!

Such an amazing announcement, and it makes me hope for Ninja Gaiden 4 and Sekiro 2 so badly!

 

[SyberWolf]

who else here participated in that capcom survey thing to see what games people would love to see return?
maybe it is a taste of what is to come !
i bet they are cooking big stuff behind the scenes.

first half of the trailer had me like "ooh shit, back to fixed camera?!? yes yes yes yes yes"

then it looked like your run-of-the-mill 3rd person action melee game

guess we'll see

The real big announcement right there! And not even a remake, it's a new one!

 

[{insert code here}]

PSA the OG Onimusha is 50% off on Steam. Perfect time for a replay.
